Aaah, a little light goes on

Ok, I've installed Knoppix 3.7 with the 2.4.27 kernel on my harddisk. I initially booted with the live cd and ran the install script from there. With the live cd, there was no problem with the network connection. However, now that it's installed on my HDD, I must configure the network card manually everytime I reboot. I do this by running /usr/sbin/netcardconfig, which is on the KNOPPIX menu. And that's it - snip snip, Bob's yer aunt.

Hth, mr_ed. Looking forward to reading some of your ideas

CrashedAgain, I've had a look at knoppix-hd-config and it says this about the network:

Code:
SCRIPTS=""
STARTNET=""
STARTPPP=""
STARTPCMCIA=""
STARTCUPS=""

while read i; do
case "$i" in
*/etc/network/interfaces) STARTNET="yes";;
*/etc/pcmcia/*) STARTPCMCIA="yes";;
*/etc/cups*) STARTCUPS="yes";;
esac
done <"$TMP"

[ -x /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot ] && STARTPPP="yes";

if [ -n "$STARTNET" ]
then
        echo "ESC[1;33m(Re)starting network services.ESC[0m"
        killall pump 2>/dev/null && sleep 2 && killall -9 pump 2>/dev/null && sl
eep 2
        SCRIPTS="$SCRIPTS ifupdown networking"
fi
There's some more, but this seems to be the relevant part. Unfortunately I know sweet blue buggerall about scripts and scripting. I'd be much obliged if you could tell me what to try next.

Thanks
